Blog 4: My non-human best friend.

Imagen
    Ying is a black and white dog, he is like 4 years old now, and he is huge, He's like 40-45 kilos. He looks scary because of his size but he is the sweetest dog in the earth. I found him and his two sisters on the street when in 2015, they were just babies. At that time, I used to pick cats and dogs of the streets, take them to the vet if they needed and then gave them in adoption. My parents started to get pissed after a while because the house was full of animals that they didn't want, so when I went home with three puppies they wanted to kill me, but I promised that I would found a home for each one of them. And I did, but Ying was adopted by an old man who couldn't take care of him anymore, so Ying came back to my house. My parents were like "Victoria you have to find him a new place, he is too big and our house is too small" and that was my purpose, but the days became weeks, and the weeks became months, and everyone fell in love with him because he has a ...

Blog 3: My favorite series.

Imagen
 One of my favorite series is called Shameless, is a comedy and it take place in U.S.A but it is a remake of a British series called the same way.  It has 10 seasons and this year was supposed to came out the 11th, but coronavirus, haha. Every season has 10 or 12 episodes, and the first season was emitted in 2011.  First, I have to say that almost everything on this series is wrong, morally and ethically. It is about a "dysfunctional" family who lives in the downside of Chicago. The father's name is Frank, and he is an addict alcoholic with no sense of responsibility or parental care. But he is free, he doesn´t care anything or anyone. He is everything that you cannot imagine that someone can be. Most of the time i hate him, but other times i feel sorry for him. He is an interesting person. The mother's name is Monica, she is also a drug-addicted and is completely insane, even when she seems to be nice and sweet. She abandoned her family because of Frank, so Fiona...

Blog 2: My favorite concert.

Imagen
One of my favorites concerts was in 2018. I was 18 years old and was coursing 4th grade at school. My bests friends and I went to watch this band called "Super Especial", it is a Chilean band that plays like pop rock. We met them because one of my teachers was part of it, he was the singer. And I didn´t like the band in the begging because I hated that teacher, but I had to admit that they had talent, and up to us, they sounded really good. We used to listen them at school all the time for years, but they were not very famous, so their first concert was really exciting. It took place in a sort of old house converted in a small pub near to Los Reyes park a Friday of June in the afternoon, and it was not like a big real concert. It was kind of weird now that I remember, but it was great, because the atmosphere of the event was crazy, it was a small place but it was crowded, I could barely breath that day, and one of the things that   I remember and why I liked that concert is t...

Blog 1: One of the countries i'd like to visit.

Imagen
  I really hope my life is long enough that I don't have to choose just one country to visit, but now I have to, so I think I would choose China. At the moment it is one of the most powerful countries in the world, but that is not why im interested about it. I am fascinated by the history of this country and how the real Chinese society works. A while ago, a Chinese girl told me that she hated the country, and that made me very curious about it, because as a stranger I am not able to see for myself the great real problems such as inequality, vulnerability and all the social problems there. Last year we witnessed the protests in Hong Kong, and according to my friend that is just the tip of the iceberg. There is also a completely different way of living and understanding the world compared to the way we do it. It interests me because our continent has been strongly influenced by Western countries in a very violent way and, somehow, they made us believe that this is the only and the b...
